Intelligent Design Comes to UC Irvine

With Ball State University and the University of Iowa disturbed by internal controversies about intelligent design and Darwin skepticism, some open-minded students at the University of California, Irvine, invited Discovery Institute's Casey Luskin to speak about ID on the campus. And guess what -- he didn't bite.

Luskin said he knows his lecture could be deemed controversial, adding that's unfortunate.

"I think evolution should be taught, but intelligent design also has a place in discussion of our origins, and there should be full access to all scientific evidence on intelligent design as well," he said.

The author of the piece, Lauren Shepherd, a student at UC Irvine, seems to have a better handle on the evidence for intelligent design than Irvine's eminent biologist Francisco Ayala, a caustic critic of ID, does. Read the rest here.
